just such a :chefs-kiss: moment
It’s funny that Shatner is trying to do a faux-philosopher thing and can’t carry it off, and it’s also funny that Bezos is so lacking in empathy that he won’t even pretend to listen to it for five seconds.
Spraying champagne is such a douchy activity. Someone went through a lot of effort to plant and care for the vines, pick the grapes, press them, ferment them into wine, aging the wine, blending it to have just the right taste, painstakingly turning the bottles a little each day over months to remove sediment — just so some rich asshole can spray it on the ground like a spoilt child would do. Give those man children a box of water balloons each and give the champagne to someone who is actually going to drink it and enjoy it.
One one hand, it’s difficult to feel bad for any of the people in this shot no matter what happens to them. On the other hand, if any experience can change a person, truly witnessing and internalizing our position in the universe seems as likely as any other. Back to the first hand, Shatner should have, in this revelation, recognized Bezos for the inhuman lizard-beast that it is and realized that he would find no empathy within its cold, lifeless disguise. To grow a third hand, Bezos is way worse than Shatner so fuck 'em I guess I’m on Shatner’s side here.
I wanna hear what you have to say Champagghhhhhhhne
